Upstand
Kitchen quartz upstands are a great idea of you are thinking about a neat finish for your worktop. They are like a strip for finishing that go vertically up the wall and sit right along the back of your worktop. This means their main job is wall protection.
They stop water getting on the wall and block moisture. This prevents ugly stains. Upstands are usually made from your quartz worktop material. This helps them blend into the kitchen environment very well and look like a smooth part of the quartz worktop surface.
Plus, if you choose our quartz material for installing upstands, it is super durable. It is one of the hardest materials out there. This means your upstands will not scratch easily. They will not chip from everyday bumps either. This means they will keep looking good for years. Again, you will never have to worry about wear and tear showing up fast. It is a long lasting choice for sure.
Kitchen upstands create a barrier that sits behind your worktop to stop water and other liquids, too. This prevents liquid soaking down behind the counter top. That’s how it stops wall damage and protects the diy quartz worktop surface as well. Upstands also help with cleaning as they stop crumbs collecting there. Debris cannot gather behind which makes cleaning much simpler. It helps keep your kitchen tidy.
Let’s share another benefit of upstands – they offer flexibility. You can get them in different heights. However, choose the height according to your needs. Also, pick the height for your style, too. You can customise them easily. So, it must match with the colour and pattern of your worktop. This helps everything blend well and makes a neat and tidy look. Your upstands will look seamless.
Some people put upstands along the sides (the ends of the worktop). This offers extra protection there. It also gives a more finished edge. Also, consider installation.
